Here is a recap of a great article I read from Leslie Beck, Canada AM's Nutrition Expert
Diet Breakers
#1 100 Calorie snack packs - watch how much you really eat!!
#2 Meal-Sized snacks - snack grab on the go could do you in - Classic Cinnabon roll 810 calories, Starbucks Grande White Chocolate Mocha 500 calories, Tim Horton's whole grain bagel with cream cheese 475 calories - YIKES THAT IS A MEAL ITSELF!!!!
#3 Liquid Calories - watch out for sugary drinks they count! Even the cream & sugar (honey) adds up!
#4 Baked Potato chips - they are still calories! A 1 oz serving of baked potato chips has 120 calories, that is only 30 calories less than the full fat potato chip.
#5 No sugar added treats - same trick as the potato chips - they are still empty calories and have only slightly fewer calories than the real thing.
